This was the last song I chose for the "Ordinary Things" project. I was raised in a small town. We used to tease and say what people didn't know they would make up. I grew up thinking that. Now I look back at my town and I see that there was a lot of loving and caring people there. Gordon reminds me a lot of Malakoff. I often think that's why I love it here so much. I do think that people take small town living for granted. How very blessed we are here.

Anyway, this song is about not being so quick to judge. The Lord has been dealing with me about not judging for some time now. Just when I think I have that under control I catch myself doing it again. So let's be quicker to love than condemn.....We don't always know what made them that way!

SECRET Everybody looks at her As if she was the perfect girl Cause that's the only side that she can show Mom and Dad can not be prouder All they ever dreamed about Is who they see in her but don't they know Chorus Everybody's got a Secret Struggling with how to keep it Something we don't ever to talk about So just remember when your throwing stones At someone else God knows that You've got something to that might come out Everybody's got a Secret Small town gossip travels fast Behind closed doors and just like that She has to keep on finding different ways To hide what's really going on Always acting like she's strong But really she's just covering up her shame Chorus Cause Everybody's got a Secret Struggling with how to keep it Something we don't ever to talk about So just remember when your throwing stones At someone else God knows that You've got something to that might come out Everybody's got a SecretTag Once you say your different no one looks at you the same

ChorusCause Everybody's got a Secret Struggling with how to keep it Something we don't ever to talk about So just remember when your throwing stones At someone else God knows that You've got something to that might come out Everybody's got a Secret Everybody's got a Secret x 2 Everybody looks at her as if she's just the perfect girl….
